Is Drudge Losing It?

Two days and two incidents.

Over the last couple of days Drudge Report seems to be slipping in terms of being the first to report a significant news-worthy event.

Thursday night, last, it was the abortive military coup d’etat in the Phillipines. I saw it first reported at Little Green Footballs. Followed shortly by the blogfather at InstaPundit. It wasn’t on Drudge Report until Friday morning.

Then today, the blogfather scored another coup on Drudge Report with the report of ricin toxin discovered at the University of Texas.

That’s two such instances of Drudge Report being asleep at the terminal in as many days. Is he getting tired? Is he on vacation? I don’t know.

But ya gotta hand it to the blogosphere for taking up the proverbial slack....as I don’t think we’d hear much of anything about significant news like this from the so-called major media until it was all over except for the shouting.
